Indigo Girls Ill Give You My Skin
"I'll Give You My Skin" is a song written by both of the girls with Michael Stipe. I kinda suspect that the lyrics are mostly Stipe. Anyway, I'm told that it was recorded at the end of 1988, while the girls were recording their first Epic album. It appears on the "Tame Yourself" benefit compilation. Go buy it. I'll Give You My Skin. Well, you - you can sit in your high chairs High chairs are for children You can sit in your high chairs and laugh I'll give you my best face I'll give you my freedom I'll give you my feet and my hands I'm keeping my eyes Open, open, open to the field Hold your dances there Take the crop Share the yield You can join us together Break us apart A wound in the skin is a break in the heart You can coast on your laughter High shelf your heart But laughter's for healing, not tearing apart I'm keeping my eyes Open to the fields You can hold your dances there Take the crop Share the yield Not a soul is lost For collapsing the walls You can dance in the dust You can walk it off, walk, walk it off If you're fallin', you're fallin' Come callin' to me Fallin', Fallin' I'll give you my skin I will give you my skin I'm keeping my eyes Open to the field (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) You can hold your dances here (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) Take the crop, share the yield (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) I'm keeping my eyes (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) Open to the field (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) Hold your dances there (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) Take the crop, share the yield (If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me) If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me I will give you my skin.
